new ski doo, or dont?

My obversations of doo owners are, they can buy the sleds but they cant buy talent as most doo owners are of below average in skills, i see it all the time, now thier getting a 850 and think thier new motor is gonna make up for thier lack of talent.
 
I don't think you should get one...to many doo's anyways I have a hard time finding mine in front of the lodge...

That's because that's all they're good for (filling up the parking lot at the Lodge), while the real sleds are tracking up the mountain and the trees. They call them things SkiDon'ts for a reason. LOL

I'm nothing special on a sled, but I work with 4 guys who buy new summits every year and this comment holds so true. Not one of them can sidehill wrong foot forward. I've never tried it on an xm, but watching them is like watching a monkey f*** a football.
 
One of my neighbors has a summit, he can barely ride it. Hell he has a hard time driving his Prius around the neighborhood. When he plays catch with his son, he throws like a girl.

My other neighbor with an Axys throws like Joe Montana.

Brp took a huge jump with this G4.. Motor is a state of the art power plant, with combined years of testing

Even the previous Etec motor was a pull and go motor day in day out..

This new doo chaise has the bigger footprint on the snow, has 20 additional hp over the poo, also has less rotational weigh over the poo.. Everything ballenced ..

as for the poo, they seam light, technology far from doo, quality less superior and reputation not the best..

Need to get out yourself on a test ride of them both and compare them, weight should be with in a few lbs ready to rride

Wrong foot forward was a technique developed to compensate for the old chassis of every make. What I have found is that I don't generally need it with my XP. Is it still a required manuever for Polaris and Cat two generations later? I use wrong foot forward less than I use my left hand throttle, which, too, has become nearly superfluous.

You may have to relearn a thing or two then. Seems to be the technique used in the '17 Doo vids.
Could be just for show. Could be because it works.
 
I was out by myself for a ride ladt week, i met a bunch of guys (11)in the medew that were all on bright t3s, they invited me to ride with them as i am a local and know the area, i took them to a side hilling playground ,a long drainage wall that was untouched powder,but littered with short trees, i went first and dangled on the wall ,staying high upon the wall,dipped wen i had to ,to avoid a tree, than when i was done ,i took the creek bottom, back to the group. 2 others attempted the wall and nailed the trees right away and got stuck, so i did it again with a big grin.
Behind that wall was a rolling hill, they scattered all over that hill and started buzzing all over the place, than began getting stuck everywhere, but a 13 yr old kid on a dragon was climbing that hill like it was nothin, it was funny.
I live in the mountians and most of the better riders in my town have left cat to ride pol, the weak riders ride t3s, are are always the weakest link wen they ride with us, now thier all buyin 850 and quacking about it, were told they cant buy talent.
Wen i go out in my local area, and the alberta doo stampeed has gone through, im amazed the awsome terrain they drive buy and leave it for me.
Iv rode a few times in crowfoot area, also doo country and see all the people gathered in the chalet or riding the flat medews and soloming side to side in the pow as if thier some kind of doo god, they bring their gf and park them at the hill bottom while they climb some bunny hill, and me im bored as fawk, and am lookin for a creek littered with walls and debris . but watching the daycare students is funny.
Maybe doos slogan should be, " u can buy our sled but we dont sell talent"

Its not a matter of making fun of them, back when i starded riding ,i graduated to the big iron, bought used sleds to learn, and as i got better,i moved up in hp and even went down in hp cause a tbo m8 was to much, i know my limmits and buy and ride acourding. Newbies think goin out and buying the biggest iron is gonna make them dan adams.
Its no different than buying guitars, im a intermediate guitar player, i dont go in a music shop and buy 5000 thousand dollar guitars, if i dont have the abilitty to play some hot rod guitar thats all tricked out , than im just wasting my money and lookin like a poser, i know people that buy expensive guitars and can play only 3 chords but brag about thier guitars, point is know your limmits, dont talk the talk if u cant walk it.
I had a family member stop in last week and drooled all over my axys, i was blunt and told him,this sled is way above your abilities, and suggested him buy somthing used or more tame, cause he lacks skill.
